[email protected] 4 November 2020 Dear Mayor Shannon Type A Children’s Crossing Application Approved on 7 July 2020 Railway Parade, cnr Northwood Street, West Leederville I write on behalf of the Bob Hawke College Board, parents and students of Bob Hawke College, Roberts Road, Subiaco, many of whom are Town of Cambridge rate payers. The Bob Hawke College Board was very pleased to learn that the application made on 6 March 2020 for a Type A Children’s Crossing on Railway Parade, cnr Northwood Street (refer Figure 1) was approved on 7 July 2020 by the Children’s Crossings and Road Safety Committee. Figure 1: Red marker indicating approved location for Type A Children’s Crossing At a meeting on site on 25 August, it was suggested by members of the Children’s Crossings and Road Safety Committee to the Principal of Bob Hawke College (Mr John Burke) that the expected timeframe for the construction of the Type A Crossing could be longer than 18 months. Given the urgency of the issue, this timeframe is too long and places the children 1 who currently and in the future will cross at this location at significant and unacceptable risk. We are urgently writing to obtain your support and commitment to a rapid design, cost estimate, MRWA lines and signs approval process and scheduling oF road works by the Town oF Cambridge prior to commencement oF the next school year (1 February 2021).
